Volcanoes Hiking Guides

Volcanoes Hiking Guides runs small-group and private volcano tours on the Big Island, in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and on Mauna Loa. Pick from easy family nature walks, steam vent routes, Kīlauea Iki crater hikes, longer volcano adventures, or a private birding hike in native forest. Our guides share the story behind the geology, eruption history, native plants and the ever-changing volcanic landscape as you walk.
